Received a few inquiries recently about the headlight mod and have now re-posted the pics in my album along with text if your interested.

 

did you paint the headlight buckets?

 

you should post that info here

we're all lazy and wont dig through your profile to find it

 

Yes, I painted the inside of the housing to provide contrast to the vent trim. It shows well during day and even more at night. Gold color is same color as the rocker trim decal.

 

My account won't allow attachments so I'll try to do so using photobucket links.

 

Pics above show the 7" round headlight and H4 lamp I used.





Pics above show factory reflector cuts to allow the new headlight to rest inside and be mounted to the reflector using the 3 straps screwed in using very small screws. I used a Dremel to cut the lens off the factory housing and to cut adhesive holding vent trim.





Pics above shows headlight installed and how straps mount to new light at rear.





Pics above show housing with trim installed to eliminate gap between bumper cover/grille and modified housing. Used sprinkler tubing and screwed from backside but other methods could be done as well.

 

damn beats the 300 plus other places are asking ! a little DIY can go along way ! looks great !

 

The pics showing how-to show the light I first used. Here are the lights I put in later that use a tri-bar design which I felt provided a bit better image overall.

 

Nice!! I'm painting mine to match my stripes once my CCFL's come in!!

 

That does look great. Nice custom job! Something all us Mustang owners have been asking for, painted buckets with no big lens cover (obviously the headlight needs one )
